124 Head of Maths Department - Full Time (Urca Site)

The British School, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Urca Site)

A wonderful opportunity has arisen for an experienced, talented and well-qualified maths teacher to lead our diverse, experienced, supportive and successful maths department within the secondary section of the school. The school follows a UK style Key Stage 3 curriculum, with IGCSE at Key Stage 4 and IB Diploma at Key Stage 5.

To apply, please send a letter of application, full curriculum vitae and the contact details of three referees by email to:

The British School, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Tel: +55 21 2543-5519 – extension 158

E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.britishschool.g12.br

Deadline for receipt of applications is 22nd November 2024. Early applications are sought as we reserve the right to end the process early for the right candidate.

The school can offer excellent facilities in modern classrooms, motivated students, collaborative colleagues, a competitive salary with accommodation and an overseas allowance, and a unique environment to live and work in at the foot of Sugarloaf Mountain. Staff are provided with a school laptop and access to a variety of online platforms to support teaching and learning, along with a strong commitment to professional development of all staff and opportunities to take on further responsibilities. Class sizes are small (below 20) and staff receive a generous time allowance for planning and marking.

Previous experience at either IB and/or IGCSEs may be an advantage, as is the ability to teach post-16 maths to a high level. The curriculum is taught in English and all school communications are carried out in English; fluency in English is therefore essential for this role but Portuguese is not.
